square one
by Emily Davidsonevery relationship
has the same routine
where when things start to go wrong
the woman first begs
but then demands
for change
and the man, his eyes to floor,
apologizes and recognizes
what needs to be done
and things look bright until
one week later
they're back at square one 03/24/2009 Posted on 03/25/2009

But I'll tell you a secret on how to really make them see and maybe it won't work for you but it worked for me...sometimes it takes you leaving for them to see the big picture and actually MAKE the changes. Good luck darling. |

| Posted by George Hoerner on 03/25/09 at 01:20 PM If you have to "change" the other in any relationship, it may be a good thing to rethink that situation. People really change much after the teenage years unless they have a very significant event occur in the lives and maybe you that event but then maybe you aren't. |
